What is Recursion?

The video tutorial introduces the concept of recursion, emphasizing that it is a function that calls itself. It highlights the importance of a base case to prevent infinite loops. An example using 'Hello World' demonstrates recursion, showing how it can lead to infinite loops if not properly managed. The tutorial explains Python's default recursion limit and how to implement a base case to control recursion. The video concludes with a recap of key points, ensuring a clear understanding of recursion and its practical application.
